I'm in a work relationship that I'm considering leaving. Working in education has become much more difficult. On top of that, new bosses came in a couple of years ago and they're incredibly micromanaging. I'm on a health break right now and may not go back once I'm better and ok switching insurance.

The part about insurance hits close to home. Every time I think about transitioning over to self-employment, I shrink back into my shell when I realize how much of a headache insurance will become, huge cost whether or not I turn a profit.
